First off, I have to say that both Lu Feng’s and Xiao Chen’s families— and their siblings— are just despicable. I honestly don't know which family is worse. Lu Feng and Xiao Chen are the products of two toxic, dysfunctional households that use their kids as mere puppets to get what they want. While the homophobia in Lu Feng's family is blatant, Xiao Chen's family uses love and filial piety to blackmail him and make him feel guilty.
Lu Feng is my favorite character. He’s complex and layered; he drove me crazy countless times, but he never once doubted his love for Xiao Chen. He took all his family's hatred and even got disowned just to stand up for their relationship. Xiao Chen, on the other hand, just couldn't break free from his family's emotional blackmail. There were so many times I wondered if he actually loved Lu Feng, and honestly, I wanted to shake him out of his apathy and make him stand up to his family.
Even though the show's take on Lu Feng’s bipolar disorder might be a bit questionable, I’m glad the character actually went through medical treatment. In most shows, characters with severe trauma miraculously heal the second they find the love of their life. Even if it was just on the surface, the series showed his resistance and how hard it was for him to stick to the treatment, which I think added a bit of realism to the story. That said, I think it would have been more interesting if both Lu Feng and Xiao Chen had gone to therapy. Xiao Chen went through plenty of trauma too, and in a way, he’s also responsible for how Lu Feng acts. Couples therapy would have really helped them find some balance in a relationship that’s still pretty emotionally unstable.
The whole cast did a great job, especially Ayden Sng and Lu Si Tong. It’s definitely worth a watch.

Beautiful and realistic
A beautiful realistic drama that shows that not every relationship has a happy ever after. Sometimes people just don't match as they thought they did.The first episode had me thinking "oh no! What is this, i am not gonna like this!" But how wrong was i, this turned out to be a great drama.
The visuals were good, i only remember hearing a theme song and that was ok.
The acting was very good!

The "Breadcrumb" Male Lead
Doctor on the Edge ended without much impact.The plot barely moves forward, the conflicts become repetitive, and the romance never develops the emotional spark needed to keep me invested.
The secondary couple was far more engaging than the main one, and the love triangle felt completely unnecessary.
Once again, the male characters are written as "breadcrumb" lovers—men who keep chasing someone even after being rejected, always hoping for another chance instead of simply moving on with their lives.
Frustrating, bland, boring, and ultimately forgettable.

Frustrating Watch!!!
Just because the first episode has some banter doesn't make a drama a comedy. Similarly, one kiss and "we're dating" don't make it a romance. This drama failed miserably in every genre it was tagged with. Even the medical aspect was laughable. Performing a tracheostomy in the middle of a tsunami wasn't impressive. It was so unrealistic that I genuinely laughed. And don't even get me started on the female lead. She was unbelievably annoying. Whenever it suited her, she relied on Cheon, and whenever it suited her again, she leaned on the male lead. Then, to emphasize how lonely and helpless she supposedly was, she delivered lines like, "I want to be strong, so if you ever see me struggling, pretend you don't know me." She gave me the exact same vibes as the female lead from Our Universe. I honestly didn't find this drama entertaining, healing, or romantic in the slightest despite whatever genre tags it carries. This review isn't for everyone, but those who get it, will get it.Was this review helpful to you?
it's totally worth it to watch
this series is fabulous, good acting. I really enjoyed it. it have good romantic scenes. "Slow burn, deep emotions, and unforgettable chemistry."From the very first episode, this series kept me emotionally invested. The romance was sweet, mature, and beautifully developed, while the chemistry between the leads felt incredibly natural. The emotional scenes were powerful without being overdone, and every character added something special to the story. I really enjoyed this series feel connection .Was this review helpful to you?
Luo Qiu Yun did an excellent job.
Watching this unintentionally. The system of streaming service just suggested it for me to watch. I don't see anything significant in this show, beside the role of Luo Qiu Yun. Although her character was the unrealistic version of female lead, she did an excellent job. Every time she was on scene, she made the scene interesting. For all other main performers, there is nothing exciting. I do not want to blame all them as the untalented or any negative, because they performed according to the writers, screenplay writer, producer, or director.Was this review helpful to you?
The kind of strong female character we rarely see in Thai drama
In many Thai dramas, female characters often fall into conventional roles such as the gentle heroine or the supportive figure. However, "The Evil Lawyer" breaks this mold by centering on a protagonist who is assertive and unafraid to wield power in a male-dominated environment. This drama challenges traditional stereotypes by presenting a woman who exudes strength, intelligence, and unapologetic self-assurance.First of all, this series as a whole is pretty amazing. It’s an unpredictable legal thriller that explores moral complexities and doesn’t shy away from illustrating Thailand’s political landscape, while also addressing systemic corruption. The way each case is seamlessly woven into a larger storyline with a great pace really makes the series captivating. However, what really stands out for me is the portrayal of the female lead. I want to shine a light on Jittri, who brings a refreshing take on strong female characters in Thai dramas.
While Jittri's approaches and morale are more on the grey side, she's a woman with a bold attitude that can really get under your skin, yet somehow, you'll end up admiring her. Her confidence is not just a personality trait but a defining element of the story, influencing both her personal and professional interactions. It gives viewers a new take on female empowerment, featuring a woman who tackles obstacles with cleverness and grit. It mirrors changing societal views on gender roles in Thailand, emphasizing the need for more varied and authentic female characters in the media. Plus, Ying Rhatha Phongam's performance is nothing short of amazing. This series marks her return to a leading role since 2022, and she truly came back with a bang. She transformed a character that could have been unlikable into a stylish, and captivating anti-heroine worthy of admiration.
Overall, this drama is more than just a story; it is a cultural marker that signals change and the growing recognition of complex female characters in Thai television. It's something worth watching not only for the story, but for the performance and the underlying issues.

Best BL I've watched!
GOODNESS MEEEE!!! THIS IS A BOMBLASTIC DRAMA! FIRE!Me and Thee (or Get a grip, Khun Thee) is a REALLY good drama, I must say. I never knew I liked overdramatic people THIS much 😭 Nor did I expect myself to love over the top gestures of love 😭 But now that I know, I don't think we're settling for anything far less from this 😭
Every scene is more hilarious than the other. You never get bored! It's not all comedy though. The perfect balance of exaggeration and seriousness. A crazy drama with very grounded undertone. Beautiful!
This drama is LITERALLY PondPhuwin in their element. Pond just feels like Khun Thee himself and Phuwin? HE IS PEACH, no doubt, no argument, PERIOD. Every single moment, whether it's the meeting or falling in love or being together, they just feel like they were meant to be together. Match made in heaven, exactly what the missing piece in each other's life was. Yes, Theerakit Kian Lee is crazy, but it's in the best wayyy! T_T LOVED HIM! Pond did such a great job to portray this role, his acting skills are amazing! And Peach...he is this calm in the storm, the peace and reasoning WE need in this drama, not just Thee. Phuwin has this natural steadiness to himself, that's why I said, Peach would be the closet to his true self, at least from an onlookers perspective.
The side characters are INSANE. EST SUPHA! The man you are! He is literally the most accurate feedback page for every scene you can access. Because his expressions and reactions, ALL SO CORRECT 😭😭😭 He is the perfect comedian - straight faced that'll make u laugh till your stomach hurts with just his reactions. Loved his role. His acting is spectacular. And as a fan of WilliamEst, I freaking loved the cameo of William as Rome.
P'Godja is another big part to the funny scenes. She is such a versatile actress, great talent. Bonnie! I love her so muchhhh!! I cannot wait to watch another drama of hers. Plub is the best sister I have seen in a while. And the one of the most genuine humans. Especially that scene of Peach and Plub's conversation, that is the most healing and comforting scene I've watched in years! That was such an authentic and soft scene, it touched my heart. I couldn't stop nodding and agreeing with every word she said. Both Phuwin and Bonnie did a fantastic job there and it's going to be a scene that stays with me forever!
MUSIC! Sound and music in this drama are casts of their own. Without it, this drama literally loses quarter of its total score. Honestly, those dramatic scenes got that extra punch with the sound. And I cannot tell you how much I liked it!! Thank you to the director and everyone on the sound team. The musical scene in between reminded me of Indian movies 😂 That was SO iconic. Then again, what about Khun Thee is not iconic 😌😏
At first glance, this drama seems like a cringe sitcom. But when you're done watching, you are left confused about how, despite every episode making you laugh, every scene being either a logical impossibility or you face palming or having second hand embarrassment, it feels like a warm hug that heals your heart. This drama is a bandage to the wounds you never knew existed. A cozy drama you can turn to whenever life gets too hard. Comfort drama list approved!

The songs saved the show
Ok this drama isn't worth it. Music wise? Good. But story or acting, not a fan. It was lowkey boring and I had to sit through it. No offense to the leads, but I seriously didn't like their acting in this drama. The casting as a whole wasn't a good pick. Skipped a lot of it. The only reason I sat through it was because I don't like leaving dramas unfinished. I think the ending was good. And like I said, the entire idol and music part of the boy band was the only entertaining part. Ya, watch it only if you have nothing else to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
predictable but never boring
This drama was such a fun ride. Going into it I didn't really know what to expect, but it completely pulled me in. It actually gave me Stranger Things vibes at times not because the stories are the same, but because of the group dynamic, the mix of supernatural elements, comedy and mysteryThe comedy was honestly one of the strongest parts of the drama. It never felt forced, and it balanced the more emotional and action-packed moments really well.
Story-wise, I really enjoyed it. While I did find the plot a little predictable at times, it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment. The storyline itself was interesting enough to keep me invested and I was always excited to see what would happen next.
My biggest issue was the romance. I just don't think it was needed. Everything else about the drama was strong enough to stand on its own, so the romance between the main characters felt a bit out of place for me
Overall, I had a great time watching this. It's funny, entertaining and has a really lovable cast. Despite a few predictable moments and my issues with the romance, I'd still definitely recommend it if you're looking for something short that is fun and easy to watch.

neither fish nor fowl...
Hmmm.... Six episodes á 9 minutes is not enough to tell a comprehensive story. While the first 5 episodes are not that bad, the finale felt extremely rushed. I have no idea how the main couple fell in love. The chemistry between them was not convincing me even when their kissing and nc-scene were well done.I have not much to say, because while it was ok to watch, I never felt involved in that story. The "little" reaper was of course the only professional actor and he did a good job, Lee Hyeon Jun was more or less the same person we know from "His Man" - quite stoic, not giving any vibes that he was interested in his partner. Kim Yung Hee is an extrovert person, so he could deliver his character much better and with some training he could become a "real" actor.
In summary, the script was not fleshed out, six short episodes is not enough to build up a comprehensive story. At least it was not stupid or cringe, so you can binge watch 45 minutes without much fuzz. Such a show should have much more depth especially so the viewer can understand what the attraction between the couple is, besides visual appeal. You can watch this if you like, you will get some nice visuals and will not waste time watching a fully fledged series which could be even worse.

Short But Sweet!
I rated this drama a little bit higher than most of the other reviews for it, but that's okay. To each their own! Everyone likes different things and I won't disagree with someone else's opinion, you know? It is what it is.Now, I will commend the casting department for casting two "older" actors for the lead roles. They're both in their mid-to-late 30s and I really appreciated that. That was different and I found it refreshing. Actually, their chemistry was pretty decent too, if I do say so myself. Good job to the casting team!
This drama falls into the category I like to call 'palate cleansers.' It wasn't too heavy; there weren't a lot of dark themes or constant violence. It was your typical, sanitized, polished, bubblegum pop K-Drama. If you've seen one transmigration story, you've seen them all. But because this was a Korean drama (and not a Chinese drama like I typically watch), the ending was different. That's one of the high points for this drama, as well. There was no weird ending where it was all a dream or where it turned out to be the storyline for the book one of the leads was writing in the real world. No, it was nothing like that. The lead swapped places with the original character from the story and they both decided to stay in their new worlds/lives. The original lead from our world decided to stay in the book and vice versa. Again, I'm a C-Drama girl so I'm not used to these dramas ending this way so I'm still riding the high of that.
However, I will say I enjoyed the first half of this drama a LOT more than the latter half. I found myself skipping through the later episodes and there are still some things I don't know anything about because I skipped past certain scenes. It's almost like I grew tired of watching it, if that makes any sense. I can't explain what happened towards the end; I just wanted to finish the drama and be done with it.
Would I recommend it? Sure. Again, if you want something short but sweet and easy to watch, it's good for that. Would I rewatch it? As of right now, doubtful. I don't see myself rewatching this one. I have my comfort dramas and I don't see this being one of them. Regardless of my feelings for the leads, their chemistry, and the story, I can't find it in me to rewatch this one.

this is THE SHIT
The fact that I binge watched this drama in one day says a lot. I got hooked from the very first episode and literally couldn't stop watching until I finished it.I went into this expecting a fun fantasy-action drama, but it ended up exceeding my expectations. It manages to balance its fantasy elements with real-life issues in a way thet feels engaging rather than preachy. It definitely made me reflect on how flawed and corrupt school systems can be, not just in Korea but in many countries around the world.
The acting was AMAZING . Everyone completely owned their role, and the performances made it so easy to get emotionally invested in the characters
The pacing was one of the drama's biggest strengths. There wasn't a single episode that dragged and every ending made me want to hit 'Next Episode'. I honestly don't remember the last time I was invested in this drama.
Overall, I'd recommend this to everyone. It's exciting, thought-provoking and incredibly bingeable. If you're looking for a drama that keeps you hooked from start to finish this one is definitely worth watching.

chemistry is flat also they done dirty to 2nd couple
I likes slow brun stories , story is exactly is according to my taste but for me something off with main leadI did not really like the chemistry between the leads .
Although both characters looked good and had strong individual personalities, their connection did not feel as natural or convincing as I expected.
Their interactions sometimes lacked the spark
Either male lead should be different or main actress',bez compare to his stuff look she looks totally different,I don't get the feeling of strong couple
Also Instrustuer suo suits the main lead better, idk about these actors ,but watching 1st episode i thought he should be going to have good arc but he dint even have good arc and side story beside bromancing with male lead lol
Also his younger version looks good and felt some chemistry with her but older version looks so stiff and don't match chemistry, I know it's sounds stupid but that's how I felt 😵💫😵💫

Acting was very good.
But it lacked depth. I believe, with the premise/story line, it could have and should have gone deeper, darker, more mysterious, and showed more of the human psyche. I think it would have been better if the audience was pulled into the intrigue, instead of wallowing in frustration.I didn't feel the characters, I was only shown their reactions and actions, so there was no way for me to feel compassion or anger or any emotion that would draw me into the story.
A good drama has multiple layers; audience members can peel away those layers. Sadly, this show was obvious from the very first episode. To put it plainly, it had no depth. Could have been so much better.
